I can see the ZL1 running somewhere in the 10.8s with no torque management intervention. The mph is there, we just can't 60' like the 'cats. Every time I've pulled a great 60' where the car hooks up well, et suffers. When comparing timeslips from not so great 60' times, it's clear that the car has 11.0 potential. I have no doubt that a capable lighter driver will go 10s stock. My money is on 17CamaroZl1 getting there first.
Thanks again for the vote of confidence buddy! I really appreciate it! I've still got my money on you though. I guess as long as one of us does it, we're both winners either way. Lol!

I totally agree on your analysis of the cat. I agree on the Z too, but find it interesting on your et suffering when you get a good 60. I've gotten some pretty decent ets for what I consider terrible 60s, but so far, my fastest passes have always been when I can hook and get a good 1.7 60.

I know I'm not the Dave you were asking, but I've watched others run on the same track as me a few times now and they're usually in the 11.4 to 11.6 range. The 3 guys I talked to and watched on those days, were still figuring out their cars, so I'd say that should be a good average for the A10 under those circumstances. Which the elevation and air can raise or lower those times too, so location and weather play a big roll in what you see. I've not seen an M6 in person yet, so I can't say on those.

That's been my average lately at London. I need to get back out west to BG where my last several passes of the summer were 11.1s.
